Working At The Car Wash Blues - Jim Croce

Well, I just got out of the county prison doin'

90 days for nonsupport

Tried to find me an executice position

but no matter how smooth I talk

They wouldn’t listen to the fact that I was a genius

the man said we got all that we can use

Now I got them steadily deppressin', low-down mind-messin'

workin' at the carwash blues

Well, I should be sittin' in an air-conditioned

office in a swivel chair

Talkin' some trash to the secratary sayin'

(spoken) hey now mama come on over here

But still I’m stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag

and walkin' home in soggy old shoes

With them steadily deppressin', low-down mind-messin'

workin' at the car wash blues

You know a man of my ability

he should be smokin' on a big cigar

But till I get myself straight I guess I’ll just have to wait

in my rubber suit rubbin' these cars

Well all I can do is shake my head, you might not believe that it’s true

but workin' at this indoor Niagra falls is an undiscovered Howard Hughes

So baby, don’t 'spect to see me with no double martini in any high-brow society

news

cause I got them steadily deppressin', low-down mind-messin' workin' at the car

wash blues
